Yes, explosion-proof (Ex-proof) models of
90-degree pneumatic actuators are available for use in hazardous environments
where flammable gases, vapors, or dust may be present. These actuators are
designed to prevent ignition sources and comply with international safety
standards.
Key Features of Explosion-Proof Actuators:
Certifications – Meet ATEX, IECEx, UL, or
CSA standards for hazardous areas (Zone 1, Zone 2, Class I/II Div 1/2).
Spark-Free Construction – Non-sparking materials
(e.g., aluminum with special coatings or stainless steel) prevent static
discharge.
Sealed Enclosures – Prevent flammable
substances from entering and contacting internal components.
Intrinsically Safe (IS) Options – Some
models integrate IS solenoids and limit switches to minimize electrical risks.
Common Applications:
Oil & gas refineries
Chemical plants
Mining operations
Grain handling & pharmaceutical
industries
Selection Considerations:
Verify the Ex rating (e.g., ATEX II 2G Ex
db) matches the hazardous zone.
Ensure proper air supply filtration to
prevent contamination.
Explosion-proof actuators provide safe,
reliable operation in high-risk environments.
